Tuff...now this is HipHop. Rapper Big Pooh (Little Brother) is back with a brand new album: Words Paint Pictures and a dope visual
for "Augmentation"
Produced x Apollo Brown.
Directed x Jay Brown.
"Beat box, this is back to the block/ Before every rapper sold rocks/ Before everybody needed rocks in their watch/ Just watch, now
it’s all about board rooms and stocks/ Words paint pictures, I’m an artist non-stop/ Raw beats, raps, this is called hip-hop…"
"Sometimes you have to destroy and rebuild in order to augment an idea. Augmentation is me destroying the idea that a lot of young
cats have about a career in Hip Hop/Rap. We are trained to look at the exceptions and accept them as the standard. I just wanted to
share some real game with up and comers, spectators, and those looking to make their mark." - Rapper Big Pooh

Visual FX: Paul Mihailoff
Mixed: Magnetic @ The Disc
Mastered: Eric Morgeson @ Studio A Detroit
Label: Mello Music Group
About the Album:
Lao Tzu claimed that, “Music in the soul can be heard by the universe.” Occasionally, the universe can also stir music from the chambers of the soul. These are the songs tattooed into our memories, torn from headlines and unsettling encounters, intense anthems of immediacy. Soul music.
You can hear these eternal truths on Words Paint Pictures—Big Pooh’s debut release for Mello Music Group. Over seven songs and two remixes, the North Carolina MC captures the complex agonies of the human condition—specifically the black experience in America over the last several centuries. These are tales of racial profiling and corrupt politicians, reality TV distractions, thieving preachers and rapacious exploitation—all offset by tremendous strength. They are uniquely American stories, chronicling both the damned and hopeful. From bleak circumstances, a profoundly durable human spirit emerges.
While Pooh sketches in vivid detail, Apollo Brown supplies the canvas. The Detroit-via-Grand Rapids alchemist chops classic soul samples and scratches hooks into bangers—head nodding and hard, but still beautiful. The holy trinity of DJ Premier, Pete Rock and J. Dilla supply divine inspiration. As Pooh spits on “Candlelight:” “this is what they call boom-bap/when they try to find what’s in that backpack.”
What’s in that backpack is as intangible as the light in the briefcase in Pulp Fiction. It’s a main vein of discontent and mother lode of inspiration. Over a gorgeous antique loop on “Augmentation,” Pooh sketches the duality of the greed-choked world we inhabit, and the sacred feelings he’s bringing back. On “Stop,” he harrowingly chronicles a racist police stop and in the process eulogizes Oscar Grant, Mike Brown, and those exterminated by brutal law enforcement goons. “Promise Land” paints a haunting picture of those “hanging by gold ropes.”
The guest list helps buoy Pooh and Apollo’s vision into the third dimension. Rass Kass indicts everyone from the media to Obama for the mess we’re in. Gorgeous and raw hooks come from Steve Roxx and Eric “Blakk Soul” Keith.” L’ Orange contributes a remix and Detroit representative Marv Won exhales fire.
But at heart, you return to the words, the pictures, and the complications inherent in the soul. You might have previously known Big Pooh best for his work in Little Brother, but this is the most powerful music he’s ever made. Mining deeply into the personal, he’s created something profound and universal.

From the upcoming album "Petestrumentals 2"
coming on Mello Music Group June 23, 2015
Wow! I had no idea that Pete Rock was on Mello Music Group , the home of L'Orange x Oddisee ...Open Mike Eagel etc etc...indie Hip
Hop label of the future it looks like...I gotta dig in to their catalog..Gotta be some more dopeness. I'll get back with you on
that.

Respect the legendary Producer Pete Rock,
This is the man who Dilla told, “I wanted to be like you.” Kanye once called
himself the “new Pete Rock.” But the original Pete Rock remains permanently
vital. The evidence bangs in his latest opus, Petestrumentals 2, the sequel to the
2001 classic that helped define the hip-hop instrumental record. It marks the
legend’s first album on Mello Music Group, a fitting union between the author of
the boom-bap blueprint and the label that’s expanded upon his legacy.
Describing Pete Rock’s productions do them little justice. They resonate in your
gut, heart, and brain. The title of one of these beats says it all: “Makes Me Feel
Like.” You fill in the blanks based on your personal experience and current mood.
Petestrumentals 2 conjures memories of BBQ cookouts and 70s Blaxploitation
scores, rattling summer jeep cruises and blunted Jamaican vacations. There’s a
gorgeous requiem to Dilla (“Dilla Bounce (R.I.P),” where the originator pays
tribute to the prodigy. You see the full range of Rock’s gifts on display: the
meticulously chopped horns, unquantized drums, and air raid sirens. It contains
the emotion of a thousand eulogies.
No record can’t be resurrected. There’s no sub-genre or era that can’t be
converted into Rock’s singular brand of soul. His music is the closest thing we’ll
ever get to a time-traveling DeLorean, effortlessly shifting between past, present,
and future.
For the last 20 years, hip-hop heads have argued over the best Pete Rock
original productions and remixes. Is it “They Reminisce Over You” or the “Shut
‘Em Down Remix?” Do you prefer Soul Survivor or the first Petestrumentals, his
work with INI or the UN? His catalogue can’t be compressed into a bio; you need
a book.
This is the latest chapter—an even 20 slaps and rhythmic levitations. It’s Pete
Rock at his best, accelerating and kicking cosmic slop, extending wishes, hope,
love, gritty drums and eternal wonder.

This is so dope...I know I wanted to hear more after I posted "U Made Me" w/ Fab x I saw this black and white visual masterpiece at

holyshyt! "Lonely people whose broken dreams...slowly became distant memories" <3
The NYC native's lyrics are poignant and you can tell they come from a pure place, because this is her life she found the value in
everyday life and people who dont see the value in themselves, which is why its so
good. This should be the score to NYC streets. I can't wait to hear her LP "Dedicated To"

Dennis Brown forever ...reggae forever. Forever Fly.
Dennis Emmanuel Brown (February 1, 1957 -- July 1, 1999).
During his prolific career, which began in the late 1960s when he was aged eleven, he recorded more than 75 albums and was one of the
major stars of lovers rock, a sub-genre of reggae.
Bob Marley cited Brown as his favourite singer,dubbing him "The Crown Prince of Reggae", and Brown would prove hugely influential on future generations of reggae singers.
Second only to Bob Marley in the hierarchy of reggae music,
Dennis Brown was a true innovator and entertainer this is an hour-long concert performance.
Backed by Lloyd Park's We The People Band, Brown is nothing short of a revelation.

..I need to give a backstory on the band tho I never have. The front man Samuel T. Herring with a rhythym section of William
Cashion, Gerrit Welmers and Erick Murillo, who plays electronic drum kit. They are from N.Carolina to Baltimore x have been making
music since 2003 but lost band members and in 2006 they went crazy recording and in April 2006 and a self-released split CD with
Welmers' solo project Moss of Aura in January 2007. They recorded their debut album "Wave Like Home" with Chester Gwazda at Backdoor
Skateshop in Greenville, NC later that year. London-based label Upset the Rhythm released Wave Like Home in the Summer of 2008. The
cover art was designed by Kymia Nawabi, a former member of the band and of Art Lord & the Self-Portraits.
In late 2007/early 2008, the band relocated to Baltimore. The "Feathers and Hallways" 7" was recorded in Oakland, California, during
their first U.S. tour and was their first release as a focused three-piece. Their second album, In Evening Air, was recorded in the
band's living room in the historic Marble Hill neighborhood in Baltimore.
In 2009, the band signed to Chicago independent record company Thrill Jockey records following a year of solid touring, they
recorded their third album On the Water in Elizabeth City, North Carolina, and released it in the autumn of 2011.
In early 2014, the band announced they had signed to 4AD, who would release their new album, Singles, in March 2014. The band made
their network television debut on March 3, 2014, on The Late Show with David Letterman, performing the lead single "Seasons (Waiting
on You)".[2]Their performance on the show, particularly Herring's onstage antics, became an internet success, and garnered millions
of views on Youtube
